The global climatic conditions are deteriorating with every passing day. No statistics could possibly describe the severity of the damage that has been incurred by the environment due to anthropogenic activities. There are various contenders for global climate changes, of which, greenhouse gases are the key players. Greenhouse gases are the ones responsible for trapping excess solar energy and increasing the global temperature by 1.20 C over the last few decades. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The amount of (CO2) in the atmosphere is 441parts per million. Apart from the obvious effect of…
